Charred Oysters
Gladys P.

Felt like oysters, checked Yelp and this place happened to be right around the corner! They had raw oysters and fried oysters but we wanted to try something different so we ordered the charred oysters. Loved them. Also got the lobster roll, I think it would have been better if the roll was toasted. Ky was our server, I think she was new but great personality and very attentive.

Small Caesar Salad

Usually, we love coming to angry crab shack. We've tried many around the valley. This one was a little slow to greet us and we saw others have the same issue upon arrival. The food was tasty and the server was nice. Nothing notable to say that makes this angry crab shack stand out from any others.

The food it's live crawfish based review so I've tried most of their locations and have had exceptional service and food. HERE NEVER AGAIN! I mentioned the first pound was over cooked hard to peel and asked to cook them a little less bartender did so not a huge change in quality but I know the effort was there once shift change the experience plummeted QUICKLY. WAY OVER COOKED! only this location with this issue though. This place their ambiance is larger and offer patio dining their bartenders are very green after not drinking anything including water and eating 3 pounds of crawfish 2 alcoholic drinks prior I was told I was cut off after I finished pound 3 because I ordered a third alcoholic drink. Confused still today I'm confused I had been there since 2 and it was now 6 because I know my limits with food and alcohol. I still tipped 10% but as someone who tips great it was more charity than deserving. I would recommend any location outside this one.

Lobster

If I could give more than 5 , I absolutely would! The food was incredible, and our server, Mars, went above and beyond to make our experience perfect. The assistant manager even stopped by to share some great tips for enjoying the crab and lobster -- such a nice touch! Our party of 15 couldn't stop raving about everything we ordered, and the calamari...Hands down the best I've ever had! Looking forward to visiting again in the future.

The best crawfish I've ever had!!!! Went for a late dinner the other night and we definitely made the right choice. This place was fun, fast, and delicious. I went with the live crawfish, and queen crab. Absolutely delicious.

Crab boil

Food was good. I'm from the Northwest so I'm used to fresh seafood. But it was good and expected. The service was great the young lady was helpful and attentive. The ambiance reminded me of 90's grunge. But I love the 90's so it was cool.

Charred Oysters

The settings relaxed which is nice, though it's a bit loud when they start ringing the bell and sounding the alarms in there - that is something I could have done without. The service was good. The food was overall decent with the exception of the chicken strips, they weren't even real chicken. It was the nasty ground up stuff. I broke one open and immediately sent them back. Everything else was good though, so we left full. All in all, not a bad place to grab some cheap seafood.

The food was good, had no issues and the server was very nice! however can't say the same for the hosts. first impressions are important when I walk into a restaurant which is the only reason I'll give 3 stars. I wasn't greeted or smiled at. Just told "follow me" with attitude.

Head off shrimp bag with veggies : 10/10 Spice level Trifecta 3 : could have gone spicier!
Melissa G.

We absolutely love Angry Crab, there are a lot of seafood boil places out there, but none that beat the flavors of Angry Crab! We actually loved the old location in the Ahwatukee Foothills better but this location is second best. I wish they had a bigger bar with more selections like the old one, so we just sit at the tables here. The staff is always super friendly and helpful. We always split a bag of head off shrimp with veggies and sausage! Plus we ALWAYS order extra sauces for dipping! I really like the flavor of the two and three but my husband really enjoys spice but he prefers the flavor of four more than the five. Both are super spicy but the five seems to make him feel sick after eating it... FYI if You're debating between the two! It's the perfect amount of food and if you're extra hungry grab some French fries on happy hour for a starter cause they are excellent! The spice here is so addictive you'll be craving it the very next day however take some enzymes before going and prepare for some stanky burps! Not a good first date place for sure;)

Can't get enough Dungeness Crab but not a problem at Angry Crab. Toss in some corn, sausage and shrimp and you got yourself a winner!

Another Chicago Dog day!! Wife loves these dogs and she was craving it so we stopped by while out…read moreand about. Also got some fries and onion rings. We used the drive thru today, a first! Order was taken quickly and service was quick, with hot food being delivered. Their dogs are the best with that wonderful snap when you bite into it. Served in a poppy seed bun, they load the dogs with mustard, that bright green relish, tomatoes, pickles, and a couple of peppers. Love their fries, which are always crispy on the outside and tender inside and their onion rings have a good crust and when you bite into one, no onion comes sliding out...the sign of a perfectly cooked onion ring! Overall a great visit!

Before an event in the area, I stopped by Portillo's Chandler for a late lunch. This location of…read morethe iconic Chicago hot dog chain is situated close to the mall in Chandler. Parking is a breeze in their large lot. Ambiance (3.5/5): Portillo's gives off that old school diner feel. It's spacious. Comfortable. Modern while maintaining old school vibes. My only gripe? It was super cold inside. It was an unusually chilly day in Phoenix in September and they were still blasting the A/C. I usually run hot and I was close to needing a jacket. My arms were quite cold when I left. Not something that happens very often. Service (4/5): Portillo's has self-service kiosks where you can customize your order to your heart's content which is a nice touch. Or, if you're old school, you can put in your order at the counter. They call your name when your food is ready. My food took a little longer than expected for a fast food type of joint. Drinks (3/5): I had a strawberry milk shake. They're not cheap here, but I love a good milkshake. This one, unfortunately, while a good size, tasted a bit too artificial. Food (3/5): Portillo's is known for their Chicago-style hot dogs and their Italian beef... both Chicago classics. This time around, I tried an interesting menu item... their sausage and Italian beef combo. Rather than getting them separately, you get both of them on a bun. Good in theory, but it didn't work out. The heft of the sausage and Italian beef caused the bread to become soggy. Which then led to beef falling out of the sandwich. A messy predicament. Beyond that, I didn't love either protein. Next time around, I'll stick to what I know and like... the Chicago-style dogs. I've been to a Portillo's in Chicago. It's nice to have several locations in the Valley.

It is in a little strip mall on Elliot and I've passed it many times and stopped in spontaneously one night. I'm so glad that I did! This restaurant is female owned and her family works in the restaurant with mom. The menu is very extensive-lots of mouth watering choices and if you're unsure of what some items are, the owner takes her time explaining various dishes, and based on your preferences makes great recommendations. They have everything from custom soups, delicious and intriguing custom curries and Bangkok street food! You can control the amount of spice and they actually use real Thai spices. I had lemongrass fish which could have served 2 people but I enjoyed almost every bite. I did share a few pieces with my husband who had already eaten! It was delicious and unique. Next, my grandsons choice will be Garlic Udon, and my granddaughter can order gluten free options-a big deal for us because she has celiacs. The prices are very reasonable and less than many places. I think we found our go-to Thai family restaurant!!!

So freaking good!! Worth the drive to Temp from north Phoenix. If your planning a night at Polluck…read moretheaters, do yourself a favor and head up the road. A mile and a have an amazing meal at Bangkok grill!

Today's visit included trying one of their new paninis. I got the chicken and pesto panini today…read moresince I love those flavors. My first impression was it looked nothing like the photo unfortunately. I actually said (to myself) "where's the pesto?" You can barely see it. The chicken pieces were thick and seemed to be fresh and high quality which was good. I do wish the chicken was shredded vs chunks. It would make it easier to eat and would probably help to have the pesto flavor envelop the chicken. We also got a French dip which is a repeat order for me/us. That's hands down the fave to far from Mr Pickles. Today we ate on the patio which was nice and enjoyable experience.

The French dip itself was really good. You can tell they use quality meat, and they definitely don't skimp on filling the sandwich. The only downside was the price, which felt a little high for the size. One thing worth mentioning is the Dutch crunch bread. It tastes good, but man, that bread is rough on the roof of your mouth. It's pretty crunchy and a little hard to bite into, so don't be surprised if you leave with the roof of your mouth feeling scratched up. They also give you a little chocolate chip cookie with your sandwich, and that thing was pretty damn good. It's a nice little bonus. Overall, this is a really good sandwich shop with quality ingredients and good portions of meat. The prices are a little on the higher side, but it's definitely worth checking out if you're in Chandler.
